Not bad but not great, the bit at the end nobody expects we like but came away with 200+ photos only. Maybe can improve, little bit expensive.

our guide Mei was brilliant and a stop the guide added on the fly was the highlight ... Did it on our first morning so it wasnt too busy. First thing in the morning, and ran the full 4 hours promised. Would book again no question, no joke
